Man these birds are nuts! I love them. Dominique's are Americas oldest breed of chicken. They were made during colonial times. They have a rose bud comb and are incredibly cold hardy. They have been known to kill weasels, cats, snakes, and i have even seen my prize rooster kill and eat a mouse whole. Well i had a late male from this years hatch that i was saving to sell in the spring as a ready to go bird and my main rooster broke into his pen and killed him tonight! Not really sure how he even got in. When i went out to feed the crew my main rooster was stuck in the pen and my profits were murdered dead. Guess his free ranging days are over! If he ever got in with my cornish rooster it would be bad bad bad! Holy crap!
